ITEM NO. 3.1
AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: April 25, 2011
Subject: Citizen's Advisory Committee Structure Organization and Membership for
Calendar Year 2011
SUMMARY:
With two Committee members recently elected to the Board of Directors, the number of active
members of the CAC dipped to around seven. The Committee established that twelve active heads
would represent a favorable size membership moving forward. With the appointment of five new
CAC members by the YLWD Board of Directors on April 20, the time has come for the Committee to
determine how they would like to move forward and when to consider any changes to the
Committee organizational structure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Committee establish a time line to consider reorganizing its leadership,
discuss and develop a written mission statement and confer on the establishment of goals and
objectives for the next year.
ITEM NO. 4.2
AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: April 25, 2011
Subject: Current Water Situation in California
SUMMARY:
On March 30, 2011 California Governor Brown declared the California drought was over. In
addition, restrictions have been lifted by water wholesalers to the retail agencies. However, even
with an abundance of new snow pack and increased water storage in our local reservoirs, southern
California is still highly reliant on water transported from outside of our region. Furthermore,
conveying that water several hundreds of miles to southern California remains a daunting task.
Whether from northern California via the State Water Project Aqueduct or from the Colorado River
via the Colorado River Aqueduct, we should remember that until a solution for long-term reliability is
reached, Californians should continue making efficient use of water a way of life.

TO: Member Agencies - MWDOC Division One
FROM: Brett R. Barbre, Director - Division One
SUBJECT: Monthly Water Usage Data, Tier 2 Projection & Water Supply Information
The five attached figures show the recent trend of water consumption in Orange County, an
estimate of Tier 2 volume for MWDOC, and selected water supply information.
Fig. 1 OC Water Usage, Monthly by Source February water usage was about at
the projection that was accumulated from the water agencies that included the
assumption of MET water Allocations being in effect.
Fig. 2 OC Water Usage, Monthly, Comparison to Previous Years Water usage in
Feb. 2011 was higher than last February. This is assumed due mostly to higher
rainfall last February.
Fig. 3 Historical OC Water Consumption OC water consumption has been in a
generally declining trend since peaking in FY1999-00 (a dry year) even though
population has increased about 1 % per year in the past decade. The decreasing
water usage can be credited mostly to water use efficiency (conservation) efforts.
Fig. 4 MWDOC "Firm" Water Purchases, 2011 "Firm" water above the Tier 1 limit
will be charged at the higher Tier 2 rate. Our current projection of Tier 2 volume is
zero. This projection is subject to the variability of demands and the variability in the
usage of local supplies versus imported water.
Fig. 5 Water Supply Information Includes data on: Rainfall in OC; the OCWD
Basin overdraft; Northern Calif. and Colorado R. Basin precipitation data; the State
Water Project (SWP) Allocation, and Colorado, State and MET storage volumes.
